Ohio has lately been a hotbed of UFO sightings and this phenomena extends back to previous decades.
In this report submitted to MUFON, in 1986 the witness claims that after a softball game at Ford's Ball Park, he and at least one other saw a silent metallic disc descend into old Erie Canal.

Report:
I was at Ford's Ball Park in Hamilton, OH attending a softball game in which two co-workers and friend were playing. I left before the game ended and was walking up an incline toward the gravel lot where I was parked,when out of the corner of my eye to the left (west) I noticed a grayish blue object descending slowly and silently less than 100 yards from me.

I immediately stopped near the top of the hill and blinked once in amazement at what I was seeing. This object was a solid disc shaped blueish, grayish color. I would estimate at arms length the object was about the size of my hand. As it descended it went behind a row of trees on the south bank of the old Erie Canal.

As it descended behind the trees it "lit up" white like a search light. At this time I could hear what sounded like the leaves and branches of the trees "crackling" as if they were being severed. By now the hair was standing on the back of my neck.

The object continued to descend and the only place it could have gone was under the water in the canal. I thought "What the hell did I just see"!

There were a few people in the lot but had their backs to the object. I didn't say anything, just got in my car and went home. The next day at work one of my friends that I went to watch play ball the night before approached me with a strange look on his face. I said , "You saw it too, didn't you."! He said ,"What the heck was that?" I said," I don't know".

We never talked about it again.

Report:
My family and I were standing outside of my house at around 8:30 looking for the space station that was supposed to be visible tonight. We couldn't see anything so everyone went inside after a little while except for me.

All of a sudden I saw this star-like light in the sky shooting up from the horizon and went to grab everyone because I thought it was the space station. The light is flickering in a reddish-orange color, and every now and then there will be tiny white flashes of light that appear around it and then vanish.

My dad came out and we stood there watching it move up higher into the sky, when we realized it was moving in a really odd pattern, and thinking it may not actually be the space station. The only way I can describe it is the way a fly moves when its buzzing around, going back and forth and all around.

After watching it move like this for a good 15 minutes, we concluded that it couldn't be the space station since it was only supposed to be visible for 3-4 minutes. It kept moving until it was straight up in the middle of the sky, and then it just stopped.

My dad went back inside and I stayed outside watching it, and it would move back and forth every now and then, but for the most part it stays in the same area. I grabbed one of my friends to get another witness to make sure it wasn't just my eyes playing tricks on me, and he was able to see it moving as well, confirming the same times and directions it was moving as I was seeing it.

I came inside to write this and to charge my camera to try and capture a video of it. When I went back outside, it had moved a little to the north, but it's still in the same general area. For it to move that quickly when we first spotted it in a matter of seconds, only for it to remain in the same area for almost 2 hours now tells me that it's not a star or any known aircraft.

I wasn't able to get a video of it since it is too high up in the sky, but hopefully others have witnessed the same thing as I have.

Report:
We were traveling from the Cisco, TX countryside on back roads towards Eastland, TX and a large round white light was following us most of the way, jigg-jagging from one side of the car to the other with no sound. Our windows were all rolled down and the object was not far away but we heard nothing.

We were a family of six with kids ranging from six to ten yrs of age all of whom were very excited and a little scared. This object followed us most of the way, then just darted away quickly.

A few days later the object was hovering above our home for several hours while we were all outdoors having a cookout. We lived a few miles out in the country in a secluded area.

I don't know if it's related, but also around about the same time of the month, our home started shaking or trembling sort of like an earthquake, although there were none reported in the area. This actually caused cracks in the mortar of our rock house.

It's nice to finally get this off my mind my telling someone. Thanks.

Note: I know from personal experience, that the area around Cisco has had it's share of UFO sightings. If the witness should read this, please contact me.********************************************************

A child (under 12), riding as a passenger in their grandmother's car witnessed a black, disc shaped UFO. The object was seen flying towards Mount Coot-tha, west of Brisbane, which is located on the East Coast of Queensland, Australia.Brisbane [pronounced Briz-ben] is a bustling air/seaport on the edge of the Coral Sea and is said to be the third most populated city in Australia.

Report:
We where heading to my nana's house then i looked up [i was a pessenger] look out the window then out the corner of my eye i saw a black disc object it was at roughly 35,00 feet and traveling very fast [i cant estamate the speed becuse im under 12] i thougth it was a plane in the sun but as it moved to the skyline it stayed black it was moving north-west towards Mt-cootha [google maps-mt cootha road]one it got to the mountain made a sharp rigth east and desaperd into the skyline.

Did Game Camera Snap Extraterrestrial Photos?

Lisa Brock-Piekarski's game camera is supposed to take pictures of the deer on her Archer City lease. But the pictures show something she can't explain.

"What I see looks almost like a Frisbee," she said. "You see a several lights going around, and they're all symmetrical and lit up, and it just looks like an object in the sky."

Brock-Piekarski's is hesitant to call the string of lights in the sky UFOs, although she can't identify the flying objects.

"We've seen falling stars, all kinds of stuff out there because you're away form the city," she said. "Anytime there's a meteor shower or anything, you can see it a lot better, but I've never seen anything like that."

Brock-Piekarski said the pictures were taken by a single motion-activated game camera. The equipment wasn't moved, and it doesn't have a flash. Instead, it uses infrared. She said she has ruled out light posts or cell phone towers because the area is pretty empty.

"There's nothing back there but trees and sky," she said. "There's no hills, no buildings, nothing back there. It's all flat."

Timestamps on several pictures also show that the object hovered in the air for almost two hours.

Whatever it is, she is now a little hesitant to go out to her deer blind alone.

"It's creepy," Brock-Piekarski said. "I don't know if I want to be sitting out in my deer stand by my self anymore, hunting."

Archer City, which is just south of Wichita Falls, is also close to Sheppard Air Force Base. The installation did not immediately return requests asking if it had planes up the night the pictures were taken.

Report:
The first object was west of my location and the other was southwest. The western object appeared much closer since it was brighter. Both objects were similar in that they were flashing reds, greens, and whites. They moved very slowly towards the west away from my location.

I was able to get great footage of these objects. I was able to capture roof angles, tree lines, and was even able to film an airplane landing at DFW with the southwestern object in the background. I have seen and recorded these star like objects in the past, but this was the first time that I saw 2 of them in clear view.

I've created a detailed video and posted on YouTube. These objects were shot with a Sony Hi-def camera. I captured about 30 minutes worth of footage. What is posted are the highlights.

* * *

Are these actual UFOs, or could the lights simply be bright stars, such as Arcturus? I really hate to be a party pooper but the appearances of movement West could be due to the Earth's rotation.

This story of possible alien interaction was originally submitted as a comment. I have decided to highlight this in a post of it's own, unedited.

To my readers: Your comments and emails are always much appreciated.SW

Mr SW please post my stuff this is RavenusRob and my story was totally real and not embellished in any way I realy want my story to be told and please dont edit out my email since I feel so alone in its unique nature I hope there are others that have seen or had simular incidents. Please dont toss out my story since I dont even have my own copy of what i said. I split it into two parts and only copy pasted the second half so youd post it im sorry but if you dont want the story just email all the text back to me if you can sorry and thanks and please post that it really happened

RavenusRob again,
I forgot to add and this is important. I was raised christian and I belive in GOD. I would not have posted this story if I did not belive totally in all the words I wrote and that this realy happened to me. I do not think this story conflicts GOD in any way I just think we don't know enough as humans to understand what GOD is or what Aliens are or how many species are out there trying to find us and learn about us. I know that many people will have problems with that statement but if this was not completely true as it happened I would just consider myself looney bin material and I am pretty sure I am sane and that I have a good grip on reality. I don't think I saw GOD or the devil or a demon. I think what I saw and what "spoke" to me was a super intellect being from some other dimention or time or place far away from earth. Please also post this for me since my Reverend grandfather would be upset if I insulted my faith and his without elaborating.Again sorry and thanks

Here is RavenusRob's Story:

Ok, we can just call me RavenusRobert for now. I was in my grandmothers house in texas around a week ago in an upstairs room. I was laying down and had just touched the bed and was relaxing my body into a comfortable and familiar position that I like to sleep in. The instant I began to relax my muscles, my room was lit up like the sun but with a red light. I looked toward the brighter part of the light and saw a head and shoulders pertruding up from the floor below into the doorway to my bathroom. The entity took up the entire doorway but only the head and shoulders were visible to me. The body, like I said was through the floor into the room below. The entity asked me every question ever in less than two seconds. I had no reply and I was not paralyzed or immoble but I was overwhelmed mentally and fear stricken. The entity did not move and had no face or defining features of any kind of being in any story or video or photo ever. I have never heard a story of a red light so bright or a being of this type. The light subsided after a total time of around three seconds from what I can tell and I made a phone call to someone who did not answer since it was around 3 am and I managed to email the same person with from what I remember around three hundred charicters and total time from start to finish of these actions is unknown to me but when I returned to my bed(reluctantly) I felt a trembling begin in my eyes and face muscles followed by shoulder and lower back spasims then eventually through my whole body folding me and shaking me and tormentedly contorting me in ways I did not think a human could move. I had this intense "ceasure" for lack of a better expression for minutes from what I can tell then they subsided and slowly I regained controll over myself. My mothers dog (was sleeping down the hall from my room) burst through my door in the moment I regained controll and put his head on my hand beside my bed and nudged my shaky hand onto the top of his head. I was petting the dog and decided that I had what I kept calling an epileptic episode. After talking to my family about this many times it kinda blew over and nobody thinks a thing of it. Just before I wrote this I was trying to call my girlfriend on skype and took a shower and I was what I am going to call mentally intruded (like the infinite questions from the red being or entity) but instead of asked things I was told things. I think I was given special info of some kind but not in words, I can only relate the incident to seing the red entity because of the same yet opposite happening in my mind. I was told infinite things in a short period of time. . Maybe I am crazy. Maybe just maybe I exchanged information with a higher being and was granted information because "he" and I use that term loosely felt bad for my inferior intellect or ability to comprehend or for whatever the hell reason some superbeing would talk to me directly.

What is an alien? Do they all ride space ships? Can they travel through time? Use esp? Build cool craft and tease our goverment(if so that's totally what I would do because screw them) and armys and airforce?

Have I completely lost it or did I meet something completely superior to human beings? Was my trembling associated with some kind of mental inability to cope with such a powerful overwhelming and freaky experience? Maybe after inquiry to my mind and a lack of answers it checked out my body too. Did it take a week or so for it to learn how to talk a little slower so it could tell me things I would understand? I can tell you that the information I was given was certainly not in spoken language. Trying to explain what I was told and I again am using the word told loosely, Would just make me sound crazy so I won't even try. I do know one thing about this whole experience with the exchange of info. This happened to me wether anyone likes it or not or belives or does not. I have not needed sleep since the incident like I used to and I am extra freaked out tonight that I was intruded on mentally or whatever you would call it but, this has been the undesputed coolest thing that ever happened to me and I feel like I have a friend from some other realm, universe, time, whatever, I dont even know. Other than the extreme trembling this has been enlightning and I wish my friend to return and talk again sometime soon. I am no longer afraid of it since we last"spoke" and I think it meant me no harm.

If that was an alien I will say this to you about what I belive in since I am out on the floor with the whole thing. Sorry if you encountered an "alien" that you didn't like and sorry if you had bad memories of it. This one (all involuntary movements aside) was cool as anything I have ever seen and was totally unique to look at, get interrigated by, recieve strange info from, and encounter alltogether.

To the "alien"/red bright being.
Thank you so much for choosing me, I am sorry I was so afraid of you the first time and It did help that you didn't return with the light because I was seriously feeling like I had a problem in my brain and I was beginning to doubt myself and you also. I know you are real enough to me to belive in and if you feel like hanging out then you are welcome to it but if I can make a special request. Well, two things. Do the same thing to the rest of my immediate family because they all think I am insane and they totally want me medicated over this incident. Do it a little more scary for them, haha they would freak out. Thanks again for all the info and sorry if I was unable to answer your questions but you just talk so fast I could not handle it in my mind like that.

To the people who took the time to read my story, this is the real deal. This site is damn lucky to get this out of me and if you seriously have a question you can email me or yahoo message me relaxingmyhands at yahoo dot com

This has been difficult for me to release and I hope to hear from someone interested or someone holding onto a similar incident and is too shy to post something like this.

Report:
On 08/20/2010 at approximately 2153 hours my wife came into the house and begged me to get into the car. She told me that she and a friend *(Name deleted--SGonzalez/CMS) had just seen a UFO over McClusky and she wanted me to see it. We started to drive west of town and she pointed out the light in the sky to the west. By this time it was now 20 or more miles away and I could just see the light. We kept driving west. About 2 miles out of town I spotted Deputy Sheriff **(Name deleted--SGonzalez/CMS) and we stopped and I asked him to get out of the vehicle and I pointed to where the light was but, he stated that he could not see it. I explained that the light had just come over McClusky and was now west of here. I requested that he call McLean County and see if anyone over there had gotten any reports. I don’t think that he believed me, so it will be interesting to see if he called or not. I returned home called the assistant state director Dale Brown and wrote this report.

My wife ***(Name deleted--SGonzalez/CMS) stated that at approximately 2130 hours she received a call from *(Name deleted--SGonzalez/CMS) asking her to drive her to her mother’s house. ***(Name deleted--SGonzalez/CMS) was on her way out to the Union where *(Name deleted--SGonzalez/CMS) worked, when she looked up and noticed an orange colored large light with silver glitter appearance in the sky. She described it as larger than a golf ball at arms length and it was approximately between 60 and 100 feet off of the ground. It was traveling at a slow rate of speed and was headed in a Northwest direction. ***(Name deleted--SGonzalez/CMS) first instinct was to get me so I could see it. She picked up *(Name deleted--SGonzalez/CMS) and the light was now more in the north and seemed to have stopped. She showed her the light and said look at the UFO. *(Name deleted) saw the object and said they are coming to get me. ***(Name deleted) dropped off *(Name deleted) and raced home to get me. I made note of the time as 2153 hours when I got into the car. When I first saw the light, it was south of the last position ***(Name deleted) and *(name deleted) saw it at, and was much farther away. To me it appeared as a small red light about 3 inches above the horizon, just south of the farthest point of highway 200, where we had stopped. I am estimating that the light was approximately 20 miles away at that time.

Here are two recent reports submitted to MUFON. Are they cases for alien abduction?
You decide.

Missing Time

MUFON Case # 25142
Date: August 17, 2010
Time: 04:10
Location: Sierraville, California
Country: U.S.A.
Shape: Circle,Disc,Egg,Oval,Sphere,Other,Unknown
Duration: 00:17:00
Report: I didn't see it till it was too late.
All I know that it was a round shaped looking object and it was on a route in Sierraville in the middle of nowhere. I was driving after my friends left at around 1am and I had no idea why but I wanted to drive to Sierraville. There is nothing in Sierraville but farm land that is surrounded by mountains in a valley. I didn't even see it coming. All I know is that it appeared almost overhead of me and I saw a blinding light which caused me to stop. My car stalled but probably because I drive stick shift and stalled. Problem is that I couldn't start up again and I quickly looked at the clock and it read around 4:01am. And that's all I remember. I remember waking up and seeing that time was 4:18am. I lost 17 minutes. I doubt I was abducted but noticed that there was a house nearby. I think I was a witness to an abduction over there. I have no injuries or strange things poking around my neck or nose. But I can tell you that I was unconscious for 17 minutes. When I got home back to Truckee I went to bed and now when I think about it, I don't even know how I got home. I can recall all driving routes that I always take but this time I have forgotten. I'm going back out there but this time armed with cameras and a crew.

Is this the case of the Brazilian 'pocket photos', or is it something more sinister?

Last Monday August 16, I was looking at the pictures I have recorded in my cell phone, a 2 megapixel Motorola Rokr E8.I was scary of what I found,4 pictures I have no idea where they were taken. So I transfer these pictures to my laptop and opened properties than details,so I found that the 4 pictures were taken betwen 18:32- 18:34pm of Saturday August 14 2010.

I remember exactly what I was doing by that time. I was at home with my wife cooking.

I want to make clear that I am not a super fan about the UFO subject but I try to keep myself up to date with the topic becouse I find it very interesting and possible to be real. The pictures I found in my cell phone are very strange, it appears that they were taken out of focus for some reason, if you turn the angle at 360 you will be able to see what seems to be a face or something else at pictures moto 1360 and 1361, and the picture moto 1359 a strange place is shown.

I dont want to think that I was adbucted or something like that, it is to unreal for my mind to accept it. I have a life as well as a family and I will not talk about these pictures with anybody. I am very disturbing about what I think I saw.

Please I beg you to analise these pictures and give me a answer about what you think these pictures are. I say again, I have no single idea were the pictures were taken from.

A witness claims to have seen a UFO up close, outside of Poplar, Montana, in 1976. Poplar, Montana is located in the Northeast corner of the state.

Here is the unedited report submitted to MUFON:

MUFON Case # 25123
Date: 03/31/1976
Time: 04:30
Location: Poplar, Montana
Shape: Circle,Disc,Oval
Distance: 20 feet or less
Terrain: Prairie, Fields
Summary: 15 to 20 feet from ufo that started out at 10 to 12 feet up and then it dropped to a few inches above ground

Report:
I was traveling west on U.S. Highway 2 from Poplar to Wolf Point, Montana at approximately 4:30 A.M. I can't remember the exact date now, but it was still dark. I was commuting to my job at the time.I was the only car on the road at the time.

As I drove along, I noticed a red light in the distance ahead of me. It looked out of place and at first I thought it was the tail lights of a car.I nixed that idea because the red light seemed to be too high up to be tail lights. I then thought it might be the trailer lights on a semi-truck. I also nixed that idea because I realized it was only 1 light.

It suddenly hit me for some reason that it was a ufo, because it was so strange. I suddenly got a feeling of excitement and I was quite happy at the thought of seeing a ufo.

As I got closer to the ufo, I kept thinking to myself, "Please don't fly off. I want to get up to you and see you". I didn't speed up or slow down, because I was afraid if I did, it would suddenly fly away.

Finally, I came up on the ufo and stopped approximately 15 to 20 feet from it. The ufo was approximately 10 to 12 feet in the air. I felt I could have gotten even closer, but I was afraid if I did it would take off.

The whole area was lit up in a red light that was emitting from the craft. It wasn't a bright light, but rather a soft light. It was so surreal. The light wasn't coming from something like aircraft lights, but rather it seemed to be emitting from the outer shell of it.

Try as I might, I couldn't see the craft itself, only the red light and what appeared to be a dark center. I started getting frustrated that I couldn't see the ufo, so I really concentrated and squinted my eyes at it. Finally I could make out the left hand side of it. I had to look through the light to see it.

It appeared to be an oval shape about the length and height of a car. I remember thinking that there couldn't have been more than 2 occupants in it. The craft was perfectly suspended in the air without any hint of wavering. There was no sound and no apparent signs of propulsion.

After staring at it for a few minutes, it suddenly dropped down to only a few inches above the ground. I believe the craft was a gray color at this time. It seems to me it had a wide belt around its middle and it had raised ribs with a possibility of what looked like nuts and bolts on the ribs. There were no apparent windows or doors of any kind.

It then slowly took off to my left and down through a gully. I remember seeing its red light shining off the ground under it. The craft never wavered from its distance from the ground. If the ground rose, it rose. If the ground dropped, it dropped.

When it got down to the bottom of the gully, the land opens up into a wide, flat stretch. This is when the ufo suddenly accelerated to a high speed and was into the horizon in only a couple of seconds. It left a trail behind it that reminded me of a tracer bullet. Even though it was traveling very fast, I had the impression it wasn't even trying to go fast. It came to an abrupt and immediate dead stop when it make it to the hills in the horizon.
It then slowly floated off to the west, following the hills in the horizon.

I sat there watching it for a couple of minutes when another car came up over the hill heading east from Wolf Point to Poplar. I was on top of the hill and a ways back. I now realize the ufo had dropped down and went down the gully, because it didn't want the other car to see it. I have no idea if the other car had seen anything at all. When the car went by me I just stared at it and it kept going. They must have seen something, but not like I did.

The whole experience was totally surreal. I was never scared the whole time and I was quite excited and happy. I often wonder why the ufo let me get up to it and look at like that. Could it have somehow read my mind and felt nice to me?

As a side note: A month or two later I was riding with my parents from Wolf Point back to Poplar. A bunch of cars were parked out in the burrow pit and a bunch of people were looking at Tule creek, which is down the hill from where I saw the ufo. I asked what were all those people doing there as it was quite unusual. My father than said he heard people talking about a ufo landing in the cat tails in Tule creek. Sure enough, there was an imprint in the cat tails that would have been the shape and size of what I had seen

I never seen the craft again. It still haunts my memory every day. I couldn't tell you what it was, but I believe it was not of this earth.

Report:
I walked out to put my trash out at approximately 9:30 pm Sunday August 15, 2010 and immediately saw a string of 5 Bright orange glowing orbs in the sky moving to the North. I wondered if it was a meteor shower but they were traveling in a row and not burning out and lasted much longer than that. They were moving extremely quickly and in a line one behind the other. As they got closer they were more brilliant in their glow and I ran inside to grab my camera. As I emerged 15 seconds later they had already made significant progress and 2 were out of sight. The object appeared to have almost bug like wings that were also glowing orange. They were gone before I knew it so obviously not jets....too fast. I was able to get one picture as they were almost gone.

Report:
I was watching tv inside the house when out of the corner of my eye I saw an orange light go by the front door window higher than what a car headlights would be. It was a commercial so I went outside to see what it was. I then notice there were a few more behind it, so I ran inside to get my binoculars and then grabbed my wife on the way back outside. By this time the first half dozen or so had moved to far away to see anymore. So we looked at the next 5 or so move from left to right before turning and moving away from us. When I ran inside to get the binoculars I thought they were helicopters and that we were seeing the lights from the cockpits. However when we zoomed in on them there were red or green lights as you would see on airplanes or helicopters. I would have to describe them as looking almost like a hot air ballon, but at the speed they were moving I would say thats would be impossible.

I, my spouse and another couple had a late cookout. We had finshed eating and I had just put the leftovers and condiments up.

I came back outside with my soda and sat down in the lawn chair when our neighbor Tom said, "What's that?" We all began looking where he was pointing and saw a tiny white dot moving at a very high rate of speed.

The object was first seen at 80 degrees AGL East of our location, moving North. We lost sight of it at about 70 degrees AGL Northeast.

We sat back down and again, Tom saw another star-like light moving South to North, directly overhead. We all jumped up to see and I ran into the house to get my binoculars. What I saw was a solid white light surrounded by an orange glow. The object was extremely high up, way beyond the altitude where we see jets flying.

That night, the four of us watched 3 objects moving from South to North, and SSW to NNE. I checked 2 different satellite tracking websites and there were no visible satellites listed for that day and time.

This isn't the first, or only night that the four of us have witnessed these lights. They may appear to be distant stars at first but stars do not move independently through our night sky.

The one constant for me, was always the tranquility of the celestial bodies dotting the heaven over us. That peace is past. We must all soon admit, that there is sentient life aside from our own, who have already conquered space and time.

How many are terrestrial compared to extraterrestrial? I cannot say but one thing I am certain of: We are not alone.

Top Stories- Here are a few recent UFO Sightings Reports to MUFON, from around the World.

Australia- Commercial helicopter pilot sees UFO following airliner

MUFON Case # 25068
Date/Time: 2010-06-06 14:17
Location: Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia
Shape: Cigar,Oval
Report: UFO closely following jet airliner.
We were lying on the beach on a sunny Sunday afternoon, blue sky, few clouds. We were watching a jet airliner which had recently taken off from Gold Coast Airport on a northerly heading (possibly 3000 feet altitude).

We suddenly noticed something following behind the aircraft on the starboard side, at about a 45 degree angle from the aircraft, about 200 meters away (large passenger aircraft never follow this closely), and travelling at the same rate of speed.

We could not identify the aircraft following because it didn't have any wings, a tail plane or flashing lights. It was oval/cigar shaped and it was shiny like a mirror.

The jet airliner flew into a small cloud and then reappeared out of the otherside continuing on its path. The unidentified aircraft flew into the small cloud and disappeared, but did not appear out of the otherside of the cloud.
This event happened over a period of about 30 seconds and we couldn't understand what we were seeing. Unfortunately we didn't have a camera available to take photos.

I am a commercial helicopter pilot and quite familiar with aircraft laws, rules and protocol. The following craft we could not identify as any type of conventional aircraft.

MUFON Case # 25064
Date/Time: 2010-08-06 15:30
Location: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
Report:
I do yoga in my backyard every day. It was a bright sunny day with a few clouds.

Holding one of my poses in which I was on my back, I looked at the sky. I noticed an extremely fast and dark object moving directly over me from South to North.

It caught my immediate attention as it did not move like a bird, was black in colour and was faster than an airplane moving across the sky.

From the time it took me jump up from the ground and turn around to follow it's path, it had already disappeared to the north in a cloud. There was no sound.

I stood watching the cloud/sky for a few minutes as it really was an unusual movement, colour and velocity (speed).

Within a few minutes, I seen it reappear to the left (west), move for a short duration in a straight line (east) and then appeared to move upwards into a cloud and disappear. It did not curve into the ascent but appeared to just rise upwards at a right angle.

It's speed did not change. It did not re-appear in the fifteen minutes I watched after that. I could not tell the shape of it only that it was black.

There was no glint of sunlight off it (it was a brght sunny day) and it moved faster than an air plane.

It's flight behaviour/speed when it was directly over me when I first sighted it reminded me of the way satellites move across the night time sky. Fast and smooth, non-erratic.

Winnpeg is on a flight path of jets flying east/west. This object was totally different than the characterstics portrayed by these flights.

I have no idea how large or how far away it was. I looked up the types of clouds that were in the sky and as far as I can tell they were the clouds that appear at six thousand feet.

Ireland- 2 metallic disc shaped objects hovering over Killiney Bay.

MUFON Case # 25054
Date/Time: 1999-04-01 16:00
Location: Killiney Bay, Ireland
Shape: Disc
Distance: 100 feet or less
Report:
I was sitting on the train coming home from college & it had stopped over killiney bay for 5 minutes. It was approx 4pm on a sunny, clear day.

I noticed 2 bright lights over the sea hovering. 1 going straight up about 50 ft and 1 staying over the water, both going up & down in sync & together up and down.

At first I thought they were helicopters moving at incredible speed. It never entered my head that they were UFOs as I never believed in them, until the bright lights went out.

I could see very clearly 2 disc shaped objects hovering about 10ft over the sea. They both rose up at the same time to approx 100 ft for maybe 10 sec then they both did a half loop and sped off in the same direction to the clouds at an unbelievable speed. It was inredible.

There seemed to be a haze / distortion that followed them as they sped off. As they were passing through the clouds, I saw a further 2-3 more objects follow them in a single line. I lost them as they went into the clouds. I was gobsmacked.

I looked around to see if anyone saw but everyone seemed to have their heads in books / phones or whatever. There was only about 10 people on my carraige. I felt shocked & moved.

I told my parents about it straight away & my mother made me draw the object.I dont know where it is now as it was so long ago. She wanted me to report it but I was too embarrassed. I didn't want everyone thinking I was a 'weirdo' and made up the story.

That weekend it was all over the Irish Sunday papers; there were loads of sightings, not just the one I witnessed. So I never really talked about until recently; now I feel ashamed that I didn't. It takes more balls to say something like that that could ruin your reputation.

This is my very first time reporting it. I have no pictures or evidence but know what I saw, this was not from this planet.

As predicted, solar storms began erupting from our Sun at the end of July, the first ones felt by Earth on August 1st, 3rd and 10th, 2010. Not much occurred, except brilliant Aurora Borealis displays. A few isolated power outages occurred but what can we expect as the solar storms grow in intensity?

The sun's eruption, which sends massive amounts of plasma and ionized atoms into space, is called a coronal mass ejection. As a coronal mass ejection (solar storm) reaches Earth, it makes contact with our planet's magnetic field, creating a geomagnetic storm. These Solar particles smash into atoms of nitrogen and oxygen in our atmosphere, causing a neon-like glow, the Aurora Borealis, that shimmering curtain of color seen in polar regions.

Fairly predictable, the sun's activity ebbs and flows in a cycle that lasts approximately 11 years. It takes about 5.5 years for a move from a solar minimum (few sunspots), to peak it's at solar maximum, (amplified sunspot activity).

The last solar maximum which occurred in 2001, was fairly weak and long-lasting but recent solar eruptions are the first signs that our sun is gearing up towards another maximum.

'The Carrington flare', the Great Solar Storm of 1859, was the largest single solar eruption from a sunspot in recorded solar observation history. It burned telegraph wires all across Europe and America as Aororas lit the skies in so many areas of the world, that many people started their days in the middle of night.

With a mass eruption like that, what would we have to contend with today?

With an eruption of that magnitude, all communications, computers, transportation systems and electric grids (which serve billions of people), could be shut down for days, weeks, even months. It all depends on the size of a flare eruption ejected from a sunspot. This could effectively send us back to the stoneage, if only briefly.

Many could suffer and die from lack of health equipment, air conditioning, heating and transportation. Our banking systems would come to a standstill.

Perhaps a few of the orbiting satellites could be powered down in time, however, the electric grids would probably be severely damaged. Unshielded, the magnetic field could cause computers and servers to crash.

All I can add is, be prepared. Or ride it out like the rest of us, because you won't get more than a few hours notice.

Report:
KSTP-TV people called me, asking if I had anything on lights reported over St. Paul early this morning (Aug. 10). They sent a cameraman, a respected photo-journalist out to witnesses location on Maryland Ave. He videotaped about a 10 minute segment of a formation of lights, five lights part of the time.

Report:
I was sitting in my truck around 10 pm next to a 40 foot long aluminum storage container on my 3 acre property I had just sold. I was thinking about how I would have liked to have kept my lot but was buying out a partner on another house. I saw a flash of bright light and thought it was a plane crashing into the mountaintop where I was. I realized it was a series of glowing cylinders that was covered in a mist individually. The total area was twice the size of a house. The sound it made was a roar like Niagara falls almost deafening even inside my truck.

Their was another craft that was entering the 'doorway' it was gold/brown/yellowish and reminded me of a broken mirror. The craft was shaped like a rugby football. I only saw the front half of the 2nd craft I believe from the reflective light of the first craft. The 2nd craft appeared to be floating and as it entered the doorway they both disappeared. The craft was directly in front of a former astronaut's house which I thought was an incredible coincedence. I asked him about it later and he said he did not know what I was talking about but showed no surprize, amazement, or suspicion which I thought was a very odd reaction to the wildest story he ever heard.

I had been selling the lot and their were two dogs that barked at me constantly. but they were not barking then and I got out of my truck because I expected people to come outside to see what the commotion had been about but no one came outside and I am absolutly sure people would of came outside to see what the roar was about. There were about about 10 homes in visual sight. I think the dogs and people were put to sleep and the aluminim storage container made a barrier to keep me conscious.

I have seen 3 other craft in the area. 2 sightings were a green glowing ball of light floating at sunset along the mountain tops. 1 was a flash of light in a figure 8 shape 10 pm when I was playing basketball in the dark.
That only lasted 1 second but enough to see it slide as it tuned like it was on wet plastic.

I have heard other stories of sightings in the area and believe it is a portal doorway to another place. A pilot told me of some very unusual experiences he had but do not want "you know who" to question me because I believe they are very aware of this area. I did see an description on a discovery in the egyptian pyrmids that remined me of this doorway and she described it as a symbol for a doorway into another dimension. But I could not find her website later.

Many of you may recall, or have read or seen the accounts of two Highway Patrol Officers, who in 1960, in the small town of Red Bluff, California had a close encounter with UFOs. The official explanation, "Northern lights, a weather balloon, and refractions".

Oh, good fricken' grief...

In this post you will read of those officer's 1960 accounts, a LITS reader's 1971 sighting and a more recent sighting that took place in the sky over Red Bluff, CA, on April 17, 2010.

Northern lights, a weather balloon, or refractions? I think not. Something is up there and we need to know what "it" is. No more psyco-bable, no cover-ups, no more lies. We demand the truth, we deserve the truth, we can handle the truth.

California Highway Patrol Officers Charles A. Garson and Stanley Scott were patrolling on Hoag Road, east of Corning, California when they saw what looked like a huge airliner descending from the sky in front of them. Thinking that a plane was about to crash, they stopped and got out of the car to get a better look.

They watched as the object descended in complete silence to about 100 to 200 feet from the ground, then suddenly reversed and climbed back to about 500 feet from the ground and stopped. Officer Carson described it in a police teletype report:

"At this time it was clearly visible to both of us. It was surrounded by a glow making the round or oblong object visible. At each end, or each side of the object, there were definite red lights. At times about five white lights were visible between the red lights. As we watched the object moved again and performed aerial feats that were actually unbelievable.

The officers radioed the Tehama County Sheriff's Office and asked Deputy Clarence Fry to contact the local Air Force radar station at Red Bluff. Deputy Fry reported back that the radar station verified that an unidentified object was visible on radar.

As they continued to watch the object:

On two occasions the object came directly towards the patrol vehicle; each time it approached, the object turned, swept the area with a huge red light. Officer Scott turned the red light on the patrol vehicle towards the object, and it immediately went away from us.

We observed the object use the red beam approximately 6 or 7 times, sweeping the sky and ground areas.

The object then began to move slowly to the east, and the officers followed. When they had reached the Vina Plains Fire Station, the object was approached by a second object that came from the south.

The second object moved near to the first and both stopped and hovered for some time, occasionally emitting red beams. After a time, both objects vanished below the eastern horizon. They had observed the first object for a total of about two hours and fifteen minutes.

When they returned to the Tehama County Sheriff's Office, they found that the object had also been seen by Deputies Fry and Montgomery, as well as by the night jailer. All described the same thing.

The next day, Officers Carson and Scott drove to the Red Bluff Air Station to discuss the sighting and to speak to the operator that had seen it on radar. The Air Force, however, now denied that the object had been seen on radar, contradicting what the radar operator had told Deputy Fry the night before.

The visit was completely unproductive.

More information regarding the sighting was obtained by NICAP(National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena) advisor Walter N. Webb, who contacted Carson and received a copy of the report, drawings of the object, and a letter from Carson.

In the letter, dated November 14, 1960, Carson said:

We made several attempts to follow it, or I should say get closer to it, but the object seemed aware of us and we were more successful remaining motionless and allow it to approach us, which it did on several occasions.

In the original report, Carson also mentioned that:

Each time the object neared us, we experienced radio interference.

Again, from the letter to Webb:

The object was shaped like a football, the edges, or I should say outside of the object were clear to us...[the] glow was emitted by the object, was not a reflection of other lights.

The Official Explanation

What was the "official" explanation for the sighting? In a letter to a NICAP member, the Air Force said: The findings [are] that the individuals concerned witnessed a refraction of the planet Mars and the bright stars Aldebaran and Betelgeux. . . [temperature inversions] contributed to the phenomena as the planet Mars was quite low in the skies and the inversion caused it to be projected upward.

They also said:

A contributing factor to the sightings could have been the layer of smoke which hung over the area in a thin stratiform layer. This smoke came from the forest fires in the area hung in layer due to the stable conditions associated with the inversions.

When NICAP pointed out that Mars, Aldebaran, and Betelgeuse were all below the horizon at the time of the sighting, the Air Force changed the star involved to Capella, which was slightly above the eastern horizon at the time.

They neglected to explain the fact that, as the sighting progressed, Capella would have risen in the sky, whereas the objects disappeared below the eastern horizon at the end of the sighting.

Officer Carson had this to say about the Air Force explanations:

... I have been told we saw Northern lights, a weather balloon, and now refractions.

… I served 4 years with the Air Force, I believe I am familiar with the Northern lights, also weather balloons. Officer Scott served as a paratrooper during the Korean Conflict. Both of us are aware of the tricks light can play on the eyes during darkness.

We were aware of this at the time. Our observations and estimations of speed, size, etc. came from aligning the object with fixed objects on the horizon. I agree we find it difficult to believe what we were watching, but no one will ever convince us that we were witnessing a refraction of light.

A check of the meteorological records of the area for that night by atmospheric physicist James E. MacDonald failed to find any evidence that would indicate the presence of a temperature inversion.

Over the next week, similar sightings were reported, including another sighting the very next evening by Deputies Fry and Montgomery that was also seen by a Corning police officer.

A LITS Reader's 1971 UFO Sighting in Red Bluff

Hi Sunny

I have read a bit on the UFO sighting in 1960 by goggling Red Bluff to see if anything is going on there and just noticed there was a sighting this year. Thought I would send along a little of what I seen in 1971.

I was working with 2 other friends in a restaurant. It closed at 11 but we were tasked to do some cleaning and painting until the bar closed a 2. We were underage but got the bartender to sell us a six-pack and needed a place to hide out and drink it.

East of Red Bluff was a residential area know as Antelope. Going through this on 99E a turn left would take you through houses, small farms then wind up hill to a spot where the road dead ended at a fence. This was called Hill 9. I believe this was maybe the road that would be moved to the present day Highway 36. There was a private road that went down to a house on the river at the top but the perfect place for kids to drink a beer or make out. You would be high up on a hill and be able to see anyone coming from a mile off.

We were sitting on the road at around 3 or 4 in the mourning. A couple miles off and below us was a grammerschool with a Spanish name. On the edge of where houses got thick again. It had a streetlight or two.

For may 10 minutes I had noticed a light over that school that seemed brighter than it should be but did not pay much attention. The light was white and at some point there became a white cloud around it. When I noticed the cloud there was a smaller cloud off to the left of it that was dissipating downward sort of like dry ice in a bowl. That got my attention and we all started watching the light in the middle of the cloud. The Light did not seem much bigger than a street light but brighter. Hard to say but the cloud looked about the size of a movie screen and maybe 1 or 2 times the height of a telephone pole above the ground.

The light started slowly moving to the left or west out of the cloud and the cloud started to dissipate toward the ground like the first one. We were really watching now.

It moved maybe a 100 yards or more and shot northwest and upward to be maybe above Id Adobe Park across the river. I do not think it was to much farther out as it did not get vary much dimmer. The speed was amazing and it stopped instantly. Stayed there half a minute and shot south east and up and stopped again. Now it was very far away and very high. The brightness was down to a medium star. Stayed there half a min. or so when the light turned red. The red light shot across and stopped for a moment, began to blink. It was now so far out it was getting hard to see. The light then went in circles going up and south until it was out of sight.

A long time ago but I think this is pretty accurate. The speed was amazing. Like watching a falling star but having it not fade out, have a tail and stop instantly. The red light was very red. The time frame is hard to say. From the time it started to move maybe 3 minutes before it was out of site.

Red Bluff has been a hotbed of UFO sightings, beginning in early April 1953. John Black and John Van Allen, two titanium miners, were working just outside of their mine near Bluff Creek, when they both observed a “metallic saucer” hovering over the mine area.

The "saucer" returned on four other occasions, during the next few weeks. On April 20, 1953, Black watched the same craft, which was less than a quarter mile distant. It became quite clear to the two miners that the strange object had a keen interested in their mine.

Then, on May 20, as Black returned to the mine, he saw the same saucer hovering only a few hundred feet above the ground. As he neared, the saucer rapidly flew away and disappeared. When Black approached the area where the craft had hovered, he found several small five-inch footprints.

One month to the day later, on June 20, 1953, Black witnessed what he thought was a small child with a bucket, not far outside of the mine. When Black approached, he saw that the large saucer had landed on a nearby sandbar. Black studied the small individual, suddenly realizing it wasn’t a child at all. Instead, it appeared to be "an unusual-looking small man wearing unusual clothes and carrying a cone-shaped bucket." Hearing Black's approach, the "small man" turned and ran into the saucer, which then promptly flew away.

Black reported these events to the local sheriff. From there, the story was leaked to the press. Due to the apparent 3 month schedule of the saucer's appearence, a July 20th landing was predicted. Over 200 people showed up on July 20, 1953, at the site of the mine. Newspaper reporters, cameramen, saucer enthusiasts and local residents all prepared for the saucer's arrival. The site had the feel of a circus, with snack bars, chairs and an audience, just waiting for a chance to see the little man in the "flying saucer". Alas, no space craft, no odd little man showed up, bringing the excitement to an abrupt end.

Several major researchers, including Gray Barker and Paul Spade (both jailed by the Brush Creek Sheriff’s station for attempting to conduct a UFO stakeout), have investigated this case. Now it resides, as do many others, as a classic in UFO history.

Report:
My Girl friend went outside to take some pictures of a storm coming in. She took three photos right within 1 minute of each other. I will post all three photos as a time line.

The second photo has a faint circle in the middle of some rain in the distance, resembling the shape of the object in the third photo.

In the third photo taken just mere seconds later there is a prominent object in the top right corner of the photo.

The Camera use is a DSC-W80 Sony Cybershot, and the camera was set to auto focus. We have taken many thousands of pictures with this camera and never seen anything resembling a orb or strange object. I truly believe this object is real. The photos have been untouched.

She went outside to take photos at around 6:30PM. After taking the pictures she loaded them to the computer to look at in higher resolution.

She told me to come over and look at them and the object jumped out to me. She then was freaked out and started to call her mother to tell her.

Looking at the object under high magnification does not resemble any flying object I have ever seen. It looks like a oval separated by rivets on on the top and bottom of the craft with a glowing orange-red light in the middle of the rivets.

We have looked at these photos repeatedly now and cannot come to an answer. We are not sure what it is.

See Update Below!
I received this report by email. Here it is, "as is".:

Location: Rowland Heights, CA
08/02/2010, 22:30 hrs.

"Hello,

Last night Aug 2nd around 10:30 pm my friend and I were in my driveway and happened to spot a very faint v-shaped object gliding over my house. It moved in a smooth controlled fashion at a reletively low altitude and blended in with the sky very well. The shape was a well pronounced V and had a lumpy or foggy looking texture around the V shape. The object was moving in a South Eastern direction over Rowland Heights, CA. When looking up any other sightings I found your site and the hairs on all over me began to stand up. This was one of the most freaky things we had ever seen. The path the object took was straight and its speed was constant. It blended into the night sky very well and looked grey in color with just the slightest contrast with the sky to make it visible. The v-shape appeared lumpy like it had fog over it. There were no lights on the object and it gradually dissappeared out of view. Just knowing someone else has seen something like this certifies my friend and Robin and I are definately not crazy. I just wonder if we were the only people that saw this last night. If you have any other reports of people with a clear view of the object please let me know. I am now intrigued by what I saw and will be looking out for it again. I can only imagine it to be US military or something along those lines, but if not oh no! If you can please get back to me on this.

Thank you,

((Name withheld by SW))"

UPDATE!

Here is additional info sent in by the witness. The video he refers to is below.

"Hi Sunny,
As freaked out as my friend and I were by this event I decided to look up any similar sightings online. I ran across one video
that looked exactly like what we saw in both appearance and how it moved. If
you go to google and look up V-shaped UFO sighting under the video tab, you will
find a video of a craft above the skys of Sacramento during the day earlier this
year. When I saw the video I got goose bumps. There is no doubt in my mind
that it was the same type of aircraft I saw. From the video the altitude looked
about the same in relation to the tree in the right of the screen, the shape was
dead on and the speed was very close to what we saw.
The one thing that bugged
me the most besides the lack of lights on the craft was the lack of
sound. There was absolutely no sound made by the UFO and it as definitely
flying on a controlled course. I thought it may be some new kind of military
drone that hasn't been revealed yet.
I am a skeptic when it comes to aliens,
but it would be arrogant to believe that we are absolutely the only intelligent
ones out there in our vast Universe.
I will try to report the sighting to MUFON
tonight and see what happens. I can only hope that others saw it as well. If
you get a chance please look up the sighting in Sacramento CA and let me know
what you think of it.
Thanks,

((Name withheld by SW))"
My Reply: It's difficult to extract much information on the object in the video, which appears to be 2 segments spliced together.
I made a video capture of the object and zoomed in, worked contrast and levels.

Honestly, I don't know what to think, as I know nothing about the video. However, I do believe the Witness who contacted me. He claims the object in the video is similar to his sighting and there is a growing number of witnesses, all declaring they have seen a "V"-shaped object in the skies over California.
Input from my readers would be appreciated.-SW*
Note: This sighting is quite similar to other postings on this blog, such as:Cloud-like Boomerang UFO Seen In Bellville, Texas andCloud disguised boomerang shaped UFO seen in California If you have had a similar sighting, please email me your report. Thanks!
